Scarlet Pimple

Gretna have sent David Bingham to Cowdenbeath on loan. Missed by all probably because they think Gretna are not that important. S P likes to look under carpets--you never know what you might find..Ha! :002:

:029:

If Brew wants to keep him why is he not being played in the team? This surely is an ideal time to put him in when he is hungry ....?

Milseome was very sick at the end of the last campaign and probably does not again want to go through the nervous exhaustion he obviously suffered at that time. Who knows, it might cost him his life or at least his future health. Rules are rules , horrific or not, and they must be complied with or changed. When ICT visited Gretna (at Motherwell ?)earlier the attendance was the lowest ever in an SPL game. This league cannot survive on attendances like that which are quite ridiculous for the top league in Scotland and, depite intense passionate feelings arising that say every team regardless of size must be allowed into the SPL on merit, the fact is that one season to prove themselves and make an effort to comply with the rules (in this case) is enough.

Lots of pessimism on here then? I like his style--determination and persistence in spades. Do I also detect a bit of a killer instinct? The only flaw was the blooter over the bar. Seemes easier to keep it under the bar at least. The only thing is can he get up to the fitness stabdars of the first team and turn it on in the SPL? If so, he looks like a GOOD BUY. And your odds are, Canada Bob ....? :015:

Caley and Thistle bit the bullet to merge. They still exist except in a morphed.changed form. Good deal. Clach apparently have not yet embraced the truism that change is constant. The lack of flexibility here is palpable. They should merge with ICT or allow themselves to be taken over . In any other organisation or business if you can't pay you don't go. Even ICT cannot command a hefty crowd on a Saturday so why do Clach persist in living in the past. They always have seemed to me to be an anomaly since the merger. Once the old timers who DO support them have gone this option may well be inevitable. :rolleyes02:.

I always get rotflmao mixed up with a rotten tomato. Shoot, life gets tejious do' it? (2) And IHE is definitely not a PP, he is a peer, the starter of pp's. (3) Sophia is a survivor and a bloody good one --admire your recovery powers,hen..... But if she IS a gender bender I know it is defffo not the squirrell--he had NO sense of humour. Come to think of it he had NO common sense. (4) IHE do you agree :015: (ringing the changes here----like) :002:

Immediately introduce overseas broadcasting via satellite, including the option of selecting paytv video, to all ex-patriates wherever they may lurk in the world; with 20% of the action going to Caley D and Scotty ---retroactively----for their work in creating this fine and entertaining site. :002:

I agree completely with IHE's first two posts. As to the third I feel that anyone who would gratuitously nick gents' pencils on a regular basis causing that kind of mayhem in the process should be sent to a pen-al Institution, nay a Pen-itentiary, -especially if they are to be forced to do pen-ance as a pen-alty pen-ding a judicial inquiry to assess the current state of their pen-ury . And if that lot passes the erudite glasses of our very own Sophia then so much the better, pet. Also--to boot, if IHE were to get his own pencil pinched he would definitely not be able to be a peer....never mind a wannabe Peer Gynt even if he DOES make sweet music to my ears all the time. As for Niculae, seen strictly from the standpoint of a very distant place ,it would appear on the results achieved versus the high wage earned that his signing to replace Dargo and plonk them in has not succeeded. To restore trust with other players, placate them and re-invent parity instanter, pronto quick, a move to club like Hearts that CAN afford his wages would be well worth considering and in the process achieve at least the perception of more equality ---and the big fat sum that Vlad would be willing to pay would not go to waste either. :011: :003:

He came in at 65,000 and went out at 110,000. So the Caley Thistle Bar has been raised and now sets a new higher standard. Give ICT a little time to mature and find their "ranking" here. Rome wasn't built in a day. If we continue to climb up the table you can be sure that Rankin's fee will appear a pauper's bauble compared to what we will get in due course. But some punters on here make some good points too. :022:

Eh? :024:

Well his team think that he is a king.....as in Chivas Regal :015: Got a mouth on him. And courageous. I like him............. :003:

The Ultra Blues Brothers. :021:

Meh Goodness Jock -24 Rotflmao's -- such a compliment. Thank you so much.Such a decent chap. :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: For a momemt I thought you were having a wee giggle at the Prudence and the Pill joke--but then...sigh.... it seems to have passed by most people leaving them with a blank stare. Maybe we are too old for them to remember that was a film in vogue many years ago. Double Entendres are no longer the "IN" thing sigh.... :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: (just for you JOck). O.K. just forget it. :004:

Hangar I live in Vancouver Canada so which part ofn the U.S. West coast do you livbe in. If it's Oregon you are lucky..marvellous beaches ...eh? Go on tell me you are in the Canadian Air Farce seconded to Washington state? :002: S.P.

Aye, sufin's the right word --surfin like crazy and never found a thing except from the help of all these lovely laddies on the Overseas and Out of touch thread. Still, did get ten minutes of a slightly blurry footie by ICT at Tulloch had my eyes glued to the computer screen in disbelief that it was actually happening ....and then poof--gone like the snow aff a dyke in Fife. What happened Clacher? Did they catch up on us ? :003:

You always know when fans are complacent when they whine about miniscule trivial events. In Canada we don't even get a game commentary let alone a voice coming out of your earphones .. :angry08: Even Herve Villachase would be better than that... And Mee --well she is just a :angel13: And Sophia sometimes hides her talent under an explosive exterior. :burning:

What Piscatorial gems---you guys are just FISHING for compliments. Please WATER down the complexity of your utterances so that plebs like me and Scarlet get the message LOL It's time to bring back HMS Sneck---IHE , are you listerning? :015:

Well it certainly now won't be Prudence and the Pill..... :015:

It might also be that as ICT have progressed in the SPL expectations, in comparison to other quality players, have also increased.

Nobody in the chat room so I am hoping that info will continue to be posted on here. In the few moments that I saw on the White Rat TV broadcast at the beginning of the match the pace seemed pedestrian and so passionless...the players seemed relaxed though, which was a bit surprising in view of the fact that this was a very important match for both teams. Is this the average standard of urgency for SPL games? Rangers with all their money and supposed talent did not seem to be a top class team. :rolleyes02:

The BBC web site is over stuffed with too many topics & several links to other web pages which you have to explore thoroughly to find out what on earth they are offering. And their overall presentation is no longer professional--the text is not edited very well or at all--spelling errors, convoluted grammar such that you can't really understand it unless you read it twice and so on. There are so many side links that it makes it very difficult to find anything. I have said this before and written to the BBC about it. Most of the time they don't answer. The normal Saturday links showing what matches are being broadcast sometimes state that this match and that match is blocked to overseas listeners whereas others have no mention at all as to whether they will be broadcast or not. So you get up at 6 in the morning to find that in fact it is blocked which really disappoints and maddens me. I pointed that out to the BBC also a couple of weeks back--their response was on the next Friday to show all the matches being broadcast but none had the "not available to overseas listeners" disclaimer--it was as if they don't listen to any reasonable suggestion and ceratinly don't give a **** about overseas listeners . What is the matter with them? Maybe I remember the good old days too well when the BBC were synonomous with excellence on every level. Now they are just sloppy inconsistent Joes. Don't hold your breath about getting a reply. :020:

It's time to use Hart at his most aggressive--he will be up for it considering past events. If we don't attack Rangers where will we be at 5p.m.? :023:

So the Pimple's valuation of his worth has been confirmed then... :002: Next..... :003:

If Hibs have been and are after him they must rate him pretty highly. And Mixu is no dummy judging by his silky handling of the BBC commentator in that interview he did just before the Hibs game . Remember that song "smooth operator". I am sure Hibs don't care which club they get a good player from and if their valuation to their club is a certain figure then they are likely to pay it regardless of whether the club is in the top or the bottom half of the SPL. Now, if the lad is in the 3rd Division, however then that is a different story..
